I bought a new Audi A5 in the past year (replacing a 13-year old Audi TT, which I considered irreplaceable). The wife did all research and opt’ed for the various option. Bluntly, she’d say that it was opt’ed to ‘reach the moon’.
So about two months after delivery, we did this long extended day drive. I’ve figured enough of the GPS unit (somewhat complicated)...set the course, and we left. About 25 minutes into the drive, I came to note that it (the car) was communicating via the wife’s smart-phone...to ‘Audi-Central’. Suddenly it came up via the GPS unit and said an accident had occurred at some location up ahead...wouldn’t I accept an added route (giving me the mileage and extra time)?
The car/central network knew precisely where I was, and the traffic situation ahead. It calculated the improved route.
To please note...I refused the advice and continued on with my original plan.

I tried that.
We set the destination as our Motel for the night.
On the way we took side trips and alternate routes. The GPS girl kept saying ‘recalculating’, and ‘make a U-turn’.
I ignored all these commands, and tooled along happily until the GPS ran me off the end of a pier.
